Vitafoods Europe 2026 was held in Barcelona, Spain, from May 5th to 7th. This year's exhibition was 20% larger than previous editions, bringing together over 1,600 exhibitors from approximately 135 countries and regions, and more than 30,000 industry visitors. The educational programs at this year's exhibition focused on science-driven holistic solutions, with gut health considered the foundation of overall health, and "healthy lifespan" being a core topic. Bioactive substances derived from seaweed are currently a research hotspot in the functional food and cosmetics industry. Existing literature reports that they may possess functional activities such as scavenging free radicals and alleviating oxidative stress. Some studies involve the association of these substances with aging-related biomarkers at the cellular or animal level. Shandong Jiejing Group Corporation showcased its core seaweed extract fucoidan, fucoxanthin at the event, intersecting with industry trends.

Fucoxanthin is a carotenoid extracted from brown algae. Domestic and international literature reports a certain foundation in in vitro and animal experiments, with research primarily focusing on lipid metabolism and antioxidant stress.

Fucoidan is a water-soluble polysaccharide extracted from brown algae. In the scientific research field, its relationship with the gut microbiota has attracted considerable attention. Some in vitro and animal experiments have observed that fucoidan exhibits certain potential roles in regulating the structure of the gut microbiota, and scientific literature has also mentioned various mechanisms of action involved.

Sodium alginate and propylene glycol alginate: aligning with the trend towards cleaner food ingredients and supporting plant-based applications. Against the backdrop of the global food industry's continued trend towards simpler and cleaner ingredient lists, sodium alginate and propylene glycol alginate provide texture stabilization solutions for plant-based foods and plant-based protein beverage systems.

Founded in 1968, Shandong Jiejing Group has been the most professional manufacturer and global supplier of fucoidan & fucoxanthin. Leveraging its years of technological accumulation and full product chain capabilities, Shandong Jiejing Group hopes to further deepen its supply chain cooperation with European customers through the main products showcased at this event, providing global customers with marine-derived active ingredients fucoidan and fucoxanthin and application solutions, and promoting the benefits of the seaweed industry chain to a wider market.
